Route guide

Plan your ferry from Ajaccio to Nice

The Ajaccio to Nice crossing connects Ajaccio and Nice in France.

For a departure from Ajaccio, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Ajaccio’s ferry terminal is on the city waterfront beside the historic centre. It is a convenient ferry point for western Corsica, with road connections towards Propriano, Porto, Corte and the island interior.

On the other side of the crossing, Nice is your arrival port. Nice is excellent without a car thanks to trams, buses, a walkable centre and frequent Riviera rail services.

Compare the Ajaccio departure and Nice arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Ajaccio to Nice result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Nice may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
